Ribonuclease

...From my limited technical knowledge of cell enzymes (this will change very soon lol), I assume there is an enzyme for breaking down or building Ribonucleic acid (RNA). Maybe it's another Polymerase, like DNA has (DNA has like 3 or 4 different Polymerase enzymes just involved in translation/transcription. Busy little chain ain't it). IDK.

This dude will probably be my icon now. I don't know, something about his colors just resonates. I had decided that I didn't like smoke as a gene, period, but I like it on him.

HAIL TO THE BIO NERDS!!!

While Terragon is the clan's protector and defender, Ribo is the clan's true 'leader'. Terragon acts as a force to unite the clan, but all of the logistics and political issues are handled by Ribo. Terragon isn't just a figurehead; he always is present at official business and has plenty of say in everything, as the clan's founder, but Ribo is more than an advisor. He is the heart of the clan, and the go-to manager for when stuff's going down. Terragon is deeply fond of Ribo and grateful to have him around.

The odd thing is, Ribo is relatively unnoticed by the clan. He doesn't interact with them so much, and is a little awkward when he does. He loves them all, of course, but prefers to interact through Terragon. The two could be described as brothers. If anything were to happen to Terragon, Poppy would know that Ribo was really the one doing the serious thinking, but nobody else would, and it would come as a surprise if he had to speak aloud to them.

Some view him as nosy or nitpicky, and he is sharply observant, but he only wishes to help, and sometimes the disdainful comments or glances sting.

Nevertheless, if something's gonna happen, he's got your back, and he's in it for the long haul.
